There is something really so iconic about the original Predator, and it is exciting. It's not just special effects. It's not like you bring a puppet in, these are characters and so we were involved in developing the look and the attitude of all the characters.

It's funny, I worked with a lot of directors in the many years that I've been doing this, and generally when you hear a director yelling on set, everybody scatters in the other direction.

At my house I have a full-size time machine that I’ve built over a couple of years... I love looking at people’s faces when they walk into my office. They’re literally astounded.

Every season I teach zombie school. The casting people in Georgia look for like 200 new recruits. They come in in groups of 20, and I audition them and grade them based on their look and their performance ability.

I always say that, if you have great actors and great storytelling and great monsters, and you mix them together, nine times out of 10, it explodes in your face.

I love the expression 'makes your skin crawl,' because when you have that sensation while you're watching something, it really does.

When a movie succeeds, it takes me to another world where I don't think about it and I'm just immersed.
